CHESAPEAKE, Va. (WAVY) - A local doctor says he has seen an increase in flu cases now compared with the same time last year.

"We're pretty busy with the flu right now and symptoms compatible with the flu," Internist Dr. Robert Gromley said.

Doctors say to keep healthy, you should get a flu shot, wash your hands often and stay away from those who appear to be sick.
